That's why I went with INTENSE.. i have heard that the ZZP is ULTRA stiff...

Glad it's stiffer.. maybe I'll go ahead and buy them as well...

and by stiff, i meant the tower braces, not the mounts... Well worth the 160 bucks, eh?

Well worth the money, but like I said, the fronts were 1/4" short, so have them modify them unless you can do that easily with a mill. Or I could do it for you if you happened to make it this way to visit ZZP. Backs were easy, just had to lift them.
Only $130

Awesome.. that looks like it will be my next mod.. I was looking at the other ones from 3800 performance that are like, 130 bucks EACH, but if you say these actually are strong... then it might be worth it...

I like the radio mount you made in the right side of the trunk. That is cool.

I need to get these once I get an income again.

The braces are 3/16" 4130 steel welded to 4130 tube, not sure of the wall thickness. They are fairly light, but definately strong. No flex points, not stamped ends, unlike the competitors. I'll post a pic of the end mount tonight.

Here are pic's of the strut ends. These are strong. If you buy them, MAKE SURE THEY ARE MODIFIED FOR MONTE CARLOS! The GP spread is 1/4" less. The mounting holes need to be extended 1/8" per end.
Sorry about the dirt in the pics.
